Building software for small businesses.
Effective and built to last.
Hi, I'm Tristan.
I'm a Melbourne-based fullstack developer specialising in web development. My work sits across two worlds: direct client work for small businesses through Denim, and contracted development for marketing agencies - building, supporting and maintaining sites and tools under their banner for their clients.
Outside of client work I build small tools - Togetherish and Colourfully are two I've shipped publicly.
When you work with me, you talk directly to the person writing the code - no account managers, no handoffs. I keep my client list small so every project gets my full attention.
Work with meWhat I do
Turning ideas into working software. Fast, clean, and built to last.
Building what you need
Web apps, marketing sites, internal tools, integrations. I work across the full stack and figure out the right solution for your actual problem.
Craft without compromise
Clean code, tested, and built to last. I move fast using modern tooling, without cutting the corners that cost you later.
A partner, not a vendor
You talk directly to me, the person building it. I take a long-term view on every engagement: support, honest advice, and staying in it as your product evolves.
Selected projects
A selection of projects I'm proud to have shipped.
Q Nails
A local service business that needed to appear polished and trustworthy without adding operational complexity. Designed a clean, well-structured site prioritising clarity, responsiveness, and frictionless conversion — creating a calm and professional experience appropriate for the category.
Master Cobblers
A heritage, craft-driven business where trust and perceived quality directly impact conversion. Designed to feel established and dependable, using conservative layout choices, clear hierarchy, and performance-first execution to position the brand as skilled craftsmanship rather than a commodity service.
Horticulture Database
A horticulture professional needed a searchable, editable database for over one million plant species - something no off-the-shelf tool could handle. I built a custom web app with full-text search, private user accounts, and the ability to add, edit, and annotate records.
Read case study
North Oat
A concept build to demonstrate a full e-commerce stack - product catalogue, cart, and checkout - with a bold high-contrast visual identity. Built to show what a custom storefront can look like when it's not constrained by a theme.
Bare X Bones Coffee Co.
A brand that needed to feel confident and intentional without visual noise or content bloat. Delivered a minimal, performance-driven site where restraint, pacing, and hierarchy reinforce brand confidence and allow the identity to speak without over-explanation.
Client testimonials
Real clients. Real projects. In their own words.
“I honestly didn't expect this level of quality so quickly. Tristan delivered a polished, fully functional tool. Set the bar high and then cleared it.”
Result — Instant on-site access to a personal plant database — pest info, growing data, images — that elevates his credibility with clients.
